India, July 7 -- Meghan Markle is looking back at an early moment in her relationship with Prince Harry, and it is now a tradition that their kids are a part of, too. In a post shared with her 3.9 million Instagram followers on July 4, the Duchess of Sussex revealed that her second date with Harry took place on the Fourth of July in 2016.

To mark the occasion, Harry surprised her with cupcakes, and that simple gesture stuck. "Our second date was the 4th of July 2016, and H brought me cupcakes to celebrate. Now, all these years later, our two children are in on the tradition," she wrote.

She ended the post with, "Happy Independence Day! May your day be as sweet as these cupcakes."
